## Chapter 57 – 06. Around Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving)
+++
AV is an incredible thing.
It covers a distance that would take nearly four hours by car in just over an hour.
Thanks to that, I was in the southernmost part of the Korean peninsula this morning, but now, around lunchtime, I’m in Pyongyang.
“It’s been a month… Pyongyang.”
It was August 24th when I first possessed Go Mu-yeol and went up to Pyongyang, and today is September 28th, so it really hasn’t even been a little over a month.
In that short time, I’ve had five main fuck buddies, a dozen or so casual ones, and fucked over a hundred other women as I pleased, and even got my own personal driver.
I even got the main female lead of the original work. I can’t use her yet because she’s still in training, though.
‘The power of the Goryeo Group is immense.’
I feel the power of Goryeo anew.
They let a good-for-nothing like me, just because I’m the grandson of the group’s chairman, get away with all sorts of messes…
And the prestige of the Goryeo Group can be seen just by looking at the Pyongyang scenery from the window.
There are so many skyscrapers lined up, and many of them are offices of companies that cooperate with or are at least related to the Goryeo Group.
And even outside of Pyongyang, it would be much the same.
The exact power of the Goryeo Group, which has taken root all over Asia beyond South Korea, is perhaps not even known to Chairman Go Young-man himself.
Honestly, I can’t even grasp it properly.
‘From the start, the game’s setting was too poor.’
The concept itself is “a mysterious, ultra-large corporation.” With evil added to it…
The developers said they deliberately didn’t reveal the setting to emphasize “mysticism” and give a greater sense of intimidation, but honestly, that sounds like bullshit. Didn’t they just not set it up properly?
It’s a game that flopped due to poor optimization, all sorts of bugs, and an incongruous mix of settings, so I have a reasonable suspicion that those guys wouldn’t have properly set up the setting.
Anyway, for that reason, only extremely fragmentary content comes out in the game, and I have to rely on Go Mu-yeol’s memories.
The problem is that this bastard is a drug addict, so he’s not very helpful.
In other words,
‘…I, a room-bound loser, have to do it all.’
Ugh.
I feel nauseous again.
Woo-oong.
While I was lost in thought, the AV landed on the AV pad of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun.
Secretaries who had already heard the news were lined up to the left and right, waiting for me to come out.
Jiiing.
As the door opened, everyone greeted me with a neat 90-degree bow.
“Welcome, Young Master Go Mu-yeol.”
I got out, holding a Go board wrapped in cloth.
“There’s a coffin inside, move it carefully.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
The sudden order to move a coffin might sound strange, but they didn’t ask any questions.
They just took the coffin out of the AV and moved it carefully as instructed.
“You’ve arrived, Young Master.”
As I led the secretaries towards the main gate of the Palace of the Sun, the secretary I had seen a month ago was waiting with a benevolent smile.
“The Chairman is inside.”
“Already?”
“When he heard that you were coming so early, he canceled all his appointments.”
No way, that much…?
It’s a bit of a burden.
‘But it’s not a bad sign. It means he welcomes me, anyway.’
The fact that he assigned me a personal driver, and that he sees me quitting drugs and struggling to live, it seems like his anger has subsided.
I don’t need to worry too much.
Besides, this thing in my hand right now,
‘His grandson, who always caused trouble and did drugs, suddenly turns over a new leaf, quits drugs, and is struggling to do something, and in the meantime, he even brings a gift for the holiday, thinking about his grandfather’s taste?’
I can’t stand that.
I wouldn’t stand it even if I were my grandfather.
“The coffin in the back is the remains of Master Han Guk-yeong, so please keep it carefully.”
The eyes of the secretary, who had paused for a moment, widened.
He seemed to understand right away.
“…Are you talking about that Master Han Guk-yeong? The one from 50 years ago?”
“Yes. I happened to find out where he was and brought him here. I thought my grandfather would like it. You’ll know when you appraise it, but it’s definitely Master Han Guk-yeong.”
“Then that cloth is…?”
I slightly lifted the cloth.
“The Go board he used until the very end.”
“Oh…!! That’s the Go board he received as a gift for becoming a professional. The one that Master Han Guk-yeong used for over 20 years…!”
The secretary didn’t doubt my words.
He just nodded and was amazed.
“That’s right. Sadly, it was found with his remains. Until the end of his life… it seems he was playing Go.”
He nodded repeatedly, expressing admiration. At some point, he suddenly came to his senses.
“Ah! I’m sorry, Young Master. I was just lost in thought… Please come in quickly.”
I nodded lightly and followed him.
I walked through the interior of the Palace of the Sun, which was the height of luxury, and calmed my nerves.
‘…I’m nervous.’
I didn’t think much of it a month ago.
Maybe it was because I didn’t really feel it back then.
I was summoned right after I possessed him, so it’s understandable.
But now… I’m a little nervous.
‘The Chairman of the Goryeo Group.’
This body’s grandfather.
I need to get a good reaction.
“Is there anyone who arrived before me?”
“Ah, Vice Chairman Go Min-yeong has been staying at the palace since yesterday. She happened to have some business in Pyongyang.”
“Ah… Go Min-yeong… No, Aunt is here.”
Go Min-yeong.
She is the president of Goryeo Military and also serves as the vice chairman of the Goryeo Group, and she is Go Min-ji’s mother.
There’s nothing really said about it externally, but considering that she’s the mother of that psycho Go Min-ji, she’s definitely not an easy person.
‘Let’s not run into her if possible.’
Just the gift.
I’ll just deliver this to my grandfather and run straight to my room.
And tomorrow, I’ll stay appropriately, and on Wednesday, the day of Chuseok, I’ll slip out and have dinner as if I’m not there, and then go back.
‘As inconspicuous as possible.’
“Nephew?”
I was making such plans, but
I was immediately discovered(?).
“Vice Chairman.”
The secretary immediately turned his body in the direction of the voice and bowed.
Clack, clack.
The sound of heels is heard.
And a voice is planted in the back of my head.
“I don’t know how many years it’s been. I heard you quit drugs, and you look much better.”
I took a small deep breath and turned my body.
“Aunt, have you been well?”
“…I’m seeing things I never thought I’d see. Receiving such a polite greeting from my nephew.”
She was quite tall.
180? She looked about that tall.
There were a bunch of handsome and slender secretaries flocking behind her, but she didn’t feel inferior at all.
She’s slightly shorter than me.
And she has beauty that rivals any actress.
She’s Go Min-ji’s mother, so she can’t be young, but if you didn’t know her age, she’d just be in her mid-20s.
“Is the sun rising in the west tomorrow?”
“Haha… I must have been very rude to you, Aunt. I’m sorry.”
“You even know how to be glib.”
She turned her gaze to Baekseol.
Baekseol quietly bowed.
“Is this the one?”
“Yes. This is my personal driver, Baekseol.”
“Hmm~.”
She scanned her up and down, and then looked back at me as if she had quickly lost interest.
“I heard the report. You went too far with the prank.”
“Yes?”
Swoosh.
She suddenly bent down and brought her mouth to my ear and whispered.
“How could you break his dick like that?”
“…!!”
“How heartbroken he must be. He didn’t even get to put it in once.”
“A, Aunt?”
She moves away again.
“How much money and time do you think it takes to raise a driver? Don’t play such pranks without permission next time. I’ll get you some toys separately if you need them.”
“Ah… Thank you. I’ll be careful in the future.”
Go Min-yeong, having heard the answer, checked her wristwatch.
A wristwatch in this day and age. The owner family definitely likes and even loves analog.
“You’ve heard about the private jet and the private arms from Min-ji. Come visit me sometime. Let’s have a deep talk, nephew.”
What talk?
Is there something a nephew and aunt can talk about deeply?
I don’t really want to…
‘…She’s just saying it as a greeting, right? Like asking to have a meal together.’
“Yes. I’ll visit you soon.”
“Okay. It’s good to see you being polite. Have you eaten?”
“Not yet.”
She glanced at my cloth-wrapped package.
“Go see your father and have a meal.”
“Yes. Enjoy your meal too, Aunt.”
“Okay.”
With those words, Go Min-yeong passed me.
I hadn’t even exchanged a few words, but it felt like a storm had passed.
Ah.
I feel drained for no reason.
I have to keep having these kinds of meetings over and over again?
“Hoo.”
I headed back to my grandfather’s room.
The sculptures and paintings that I had seen on the way back from receiving the 100 billion won Goryeo Entertainment a month ago were spread out in the hallway.
Then finally, in front of the large door.
The secretary who had guided me so far quietly bowed, and the secretary who was waiting in front of the door conveyed the news inside.
And soon,
Squeak.
The door opens.
‘What kind of grandson should I play? Should I be serious and weighty? Or cheerful?’
